NovaStar MRV416-S receiving card with 16 HUB75E connectors
The NovaStar MRV416-S is an LED receiving card with 16 standard HUB75E connectors and support for up to 32 parallel RGB data groups. It receives data from a compatible controller and distributes it to the LED modules inside a cabinet.
This page follows MRV416-S Specifications V1.0.0, released September 18, 2026. The documented loading figures apply to 8-bit video sources and differ by driver IC type. Confirm the physical card, firmware and module configuration before using a maximum value to size your screen.
MRV416-S specifications and loading limits
| PWM driver IC loading | 512 × 512 pixels at 60 Hz with an 8-bit video source |
|---|---|
| Common driver IC loading | 512 × 384 pixels at 60 Hz with an 8-bit video source |
| Module outputs | 16 HUB75E connectors; up to 32 parallel RGB groups |
| Input voltage | DC 3.8–5.5 V |
| Rated current | 0.45 A at 4.2 V |
| Rated power consumption | 1.89 W; actual consumption varies with use |
| Size / card weight | 91.5 × 144.0 × 19.3 mm / 106.8 g |
| Operating environment | −20°C to +70°C; 10–90% RH, non-condensing |
The 60 Hz value is part of the loading condition. It does not establish the LED module’s refresh rate or the latency of the complete display system. Check your source format and module settings together.
Low latency, 3D and rotation requirements
The specification states that low latency is enabled by default and can reduce latency at the receiving card to one frame only with modules whose driver IC has built-in RAM. Confirm the driver-chip model before planning a low-latency system.
3D requires a controller supporting 3D. Individual RGB gamma adjustment requires NovaLCT and a compatible controller. Rotation in 90-degree steps is supported; free-angle image rotation specifically requires the dedicated MCTRL R5 controller and SmartLCT software.
Calibration and display adjustment
Color management supports standard Rec.709, DCI-P3 and Rec.2020 gamuts as well as custom settings. The 18bit+ feature is intended to improve grayscale performance at low brightness. Pixel brightness and chroma calibration works with NovaStar’s calibration system.
Dark or bright line adjustment addresses visible seams, while multi-batch adjustment helps reduce brightness and chroma differences between modules or cabinets. Check calibration files and the complete control-system configuration before commissioning.

Maintenance and backup planning
Mapping tools help locate cards and data groups. Temperature, voltage, Ethernet bit errors and cable-disconnection counts support troubleshooting. Firmware and configuration parameters can be read back to a local computer; retain working files before replacing a card.
Loop backup requires primary and backup line connections between the controller and receiving cards. Configuration backup stores parameters in application and factory areas. Dual program backup stores two firmware copies. These are separate functions, so confirm which protection your installation actually provides.
For replacement selection, prepare the module driver IC, scan mode, cabinet pixel dimensions, existing receiver revision, controller model and connector photos. Contact EagerLED for a compatibility check or compare our LED receiving cards.
NovaStar MRV416-S questions
Can every module use the 512 × 512 loading limit?
No. That figure applies to PWM driver ICs at 60 Hz with an 8-bit source. Common driver ICs have a separate 512 × 384 limit under the same source condition.
Does one-frame latency apply to the entire system?
The specification describes latency at the receiving card and requires a driver IC with built-in RAM. It does not give a complete-system latency guarantee.
Can any controller provide free-angle rotation?
The documented free-angle feature requires MCTRL R5 and SmartLCT. Confirm the controller and software before designing a rotated display layout.
Where can I find the pinout and dimensions?
